After entering the court, the players of the two teams exchanged some greetings.

Although the relationship between James and Liu Xiu is not very close, he became much more familiar with him after yesterday's birthday party.

The main reason is that both sides completed a 2-for-2 transaction not long ago, and there are many acquaintances.

No matter whether the relationship is good or not, as long as it is not a bad relationship, as a former teammate, I will always feel moved when I meet again.

Although he was angry with Liu Xiu before leaving Portland, Jeff McGinnis had better sense of Liu Xiu.

It’s not just that I received a custom suit when I left, so utilitarian.

The main reason is whether he is a teammate who has not participated in the internal competition within the Trail Blazers anymore, he found that Liu Xiu has a very simple love for playing basketball.

As for the infamous reputation of "Warner", Jeff McGinnis thinks there is no problem.

But now he felt that Liu Xiu was not "evil". He just said that although the warden did not take the initiative to fight, he was ruthless when there was a conflict and there was a fight, and he was never afraid of trouble.

The reason why Jeff Makinis can analyze the "former leader" so calmly is that he is doing well in the new team.

He made 9 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the Christmas game.

Liu Xiu has an impression that in the Christmas battle between the Cavaliers and the Magic, Jeff McGinnis once intercepted McGinnis and counterattacked James with an all-time pass, showing a good fit with James.

Next, they played back-to-back on the 27th and 28th, and played 10+3+6 in two consecutive games, and settled in the position.

As the saying goes, the tree is moving and the people are moving and living. Liu Xiu saw Jeff McGinnis who changed teams to the Cavaliers, and his ability evaluation has been improved to 79!

The ability evaluation of the all-round player 79 depends on the highlights. It is definitely not as good as the number of functional players, but it is already a qualified weak team.

Of course, the greetings between the two teams before the game were not harmonious.

Randolph and Boozer still don't like each other's competitors in college.

...

"Padded pads, pads, welcome to watch the Portland Trail Blazers away challenge to the Cleveland Cavaliers..."

It has been 2004 in China, and it is difficult to get up and watch the live broadcast in the early morning.

But on the first day of the new year, at around 6 a.m., the live broadcast ratings of the imperial sports station had already exceeded 1, and the live broadcast had just begun.

‘The power to define XXX’, this is so awesome to the weak Chinese people!

After Sun Zhengping finished the opening of the game, Director Zhang caught Liu Xiu and praised him for a while, and then helped Liu Xiu canvass vote!

The official domestic vote canvassing is a real deal!

On the court, the players of both teams have already played.

Trail Blazers: Derek Anderson, Ruben Patterson, Travis Otlow, Randolph, Rashid Wallace.

Cavaliers: James, Jeff McGinnis, Eric Williams, Boozer, Big Z.

Liu Xiu sat on the bench and put the big problem of "How to get closer to a triple-double than James" aside, focusing on observing the Cavaliers whose strength has improved significantly after continuous trades.

After two consecutive transactions cleared up the redundant amount and introduced suitable players, the Cavaliers' strength increased greatly. After being beaten by T-Ma in a game, they won both back-to-back games, beating the Knicks and the Warriors. The current record is 11 wins and 19 losses.

After the whistle sounded at the beginning of the game, Liu Xiu's first goal won!

Tianzun easily won the jump ball from Big Z, and the Trail Blazers attacked first.

As Randolph fell to the lower position, Boozer's body shook.

206 cm, 120 kg, and 220 cm wingspan, his only advantage in defense end is to defend against low-post back attacks.

But last time he fought with Randolph, Randolph reduced his low-post back attack, allowing Tianzun to attack on the outside.

This time, Derek Anderson hangs the ball to Randolph.

Boozer can finally show his defensive ability!

Boozer held Randolph's beating, which was a little difficult, but he could still hold it. He predicted Randolph's next move and felt the direction of Randolph's waist. Boozer moved to the left...

But while Randolph turned left, he spanned his right foot instead of left and backward, but forward!

After Randolph stepped out, he turned his right foot as the axis, turned 180 degrees, and made a jump shot... hit!

After Randolph scored, he stood up to Liu Xiu, who was standing on the sidelines, bulging his biceps to show off!

In recent games, Randolph rarely uses turnover jump shots.

A while ago, when I first started practicing, Randolph used a lot of jump shots, but he was thinking with the trainer how to adjust the details of the training. After adjusting the training details, he did not use undeveloped tricks on the field.

On the last day of 2003, I met my college competitor and the butcher digging!

Liu Xiu was really shocked.

What is a super genius?

Randolph is.

A little sour.

In one month, although Randolph already has first-class back hits, he almost made a back hit and jump shot in one month!

"Zach Randolph's player detection report has been updated... Turning over 81... Low-post back-shot singles 90..."

I miss him the warden, but now I have only reviewed 70...

But then I thought about it, Randolph's back-to-back hit has been increased to 90, which means that I can start the learning mode again and “return to feed back”?

Then, not only did he not envy, jealous, but he also had to actively help Randolph develop comprehensive technology of low-post back-to-back jump shots!

With the "practical operation", Liu Xiu truly understood how to use the function of the "feedback" system!

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu plucked Randolph on the sidelines.

Randolph, who retreated to the backcourt, was speechless at the first time, and then he remembered to applaud?

But Randolph was very happy. He could see that the warden was really happy.

Not that stingy either...

James advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Xiu focused on watching the game.

Liu Xiu was inexplicably familiar with the Cavaliers' running position...

By the way!

Jeff McGinnis' wing pick-and-roll!

Jeff McGinnis entered the basket from the right bottom line, walked around the bottom line, and then ran around the left side of the three-second zone to the free throw line.

James' defense against Travis Oterlow broke through from the right to the three-second zone and was hit by a pincer. He passed the ball. Jeff McGinnis happened to receive the ball and then passed it to the left bottom line. Big Z quietly moved there and received the ball and made a mid-range shot!

Liu Xiu thought of another player, Dwyane Wade.

Unlike Dwyane Wade, who changed his playing style to accommodate James, Jeff McGinnis is only at the ordinary level. This is his only "high-level playing style". When he came to James, he got a better chance to perform.

One of James' highly praised advantages makes teammates with skilled skills play better and show them!

The Cavaliers' strength has improved more than the Trail Blazers expected!

The style of play has changed a lot, and the style of playing with two point guards, Boozer's pick-and-roll ability has also been used more.

Also, after James' layup, his breakthrough lethality increased greatly after "firmly" his unique layup method.

Faced with the huge changes in the Cavaliers' style of playing, the Trail Blazers' defensive preparations are not done enough.

The Cavaliers are well prepared for defensively, and the tactical framework of the Trail Blazers after the trade has not changed.

In the normal period, the Trail Blazers may play badly at the start.

But Randolph started to rampage tonight!

Randolph made 2 of 3 shots at the beginning, and grabbed an offensive rebound and made both free throws, scoring 6 points to help the Trail Blazers hold on.

After playing 4 minutes and 22 seconds, Tianzun gave James a big hat, preventing the Cavaliers from widening the gap to 5 points. Travis Oterlow, who grabbed the ball, advanced by himself, made a counter-dunk dunk, and did not give James the chance to chase the big hat, and chased the score to 11-12.

Relying on Randolph's strong singles to attract defense, Tianzun led the team hard on the defensive end, Travis Otero actively cut into the offensive box and rushing. Facing the Cavaliers, which had a particularly smooth start, the Trail Blazers did not fall into the disadvantage.

The situation has been held back, but the Trail Blazers coaching staff is now overwhelming.

Now this is just relying on the personal abilities of the stars and the talents of young players.

Theirs who are obviously stronger are not as strong as their tactical cooperation and teamwork are not better.

Next time we fight, the two coaches are confident to gain an advantage.

But next time next year, it's in the game now.

Their current situation is that they will be very familiar with each other after two years as a coach. This is the beginning that may be upset!

They didn't expect that they could play so well when they sent Jeff McGinnis to the Cavaliers, which seemed to be better than when they were in the Clippers.

At this moment, a rookie who did not want to be named came to the two.

"Hurry up and say your immature advice, what defensive strategies do you have?"

Before the warden could speak, the chief assistant coach answered directly.

What is an immature suggestion? And this disgusting tone... Forget it, endure it!

But, the answer was wrong.
To be continued...
